Private parking tickets / Re: EuroCarParks Ltd - No Valid Permit - City Quay, Dundee (Passed to DCBL)

Apologies for replying to my own post so soon.

After reading through other posts (specifically that raised by AnonymousMD) I have seen the following reply to AnonymousMD's post by b789,

'The way you fight this is to ignore everything that comes your way. They will not litigate in Scotland.

They are sending you debt collector letters which are designed to make the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree capitulate and pay up out of fear and ignorance. Ignore the useless debt collector letters. Use them as kindling or to line the bottom of a cat litter tray.

Nothing is going to happen. Eventually they will stop. UKPC will not take you to court in Scotland.'

As this situation is similar enough to my own, I will follow the advice pasted above unless anyone thinks best to do otherwise.

Thankfully, I was already fully prepared to ignore these letters.

Private parking tickets / EuroCarParks Ltd - No Valid Permit - City Quay, Dundee (Passed to DCBL)

Hello,

As post suggests, DCBL have sent a Notice of Debt Recovery letter for £170. Date of contravention is 11/02/2022, almost 3 years ago.

(I can get a picture of current signage if it will help)

A couple of points which may or may not be relevant:

- I was not made aware of this contravention until yesterday, 17/12/24, when this notice arrived.

- I no longer own this vehicle.
- I moved address twice since the date of the alleged contravention.

- At the time, I was on sick leave from work (from roughly mid-December '21 to end of February '22). With Post Concussion Syndrome, and so was definitely not driving . While there is another who had driven that vehicle on some occasions, it is obviously too long ago to remember anything.

The letter states that I have lost my right to appeal. It would be impossible to prove the lack of any earlier notice of this alleged contravention (which, from what I've read, would invalidate it altogether), so, am I forced to engage DCBL, even if just to argue the above points?

Many thanks in advance for any time and advice given.
